Plant lovers and all those who enjoy something different will be able to get up close to hundreds of carnivorous plants exhibited by the members of the NECPS. Featured plants will include pitcher plants from Malaysia with traps the size of softballs that are capable of eating lizards and mice. There will also be sundews from Australia ranging from the size of a dime to 12+ inches high and the ever-popular Venus Fly trap. For you native plant lovers, NECPS will also display carnivorous plants that grow locally in Massachusetts and throughout New England.
This is the largest collection of carnivorous plants displayed yearly on the east coast and at the New England Botanic Garden.
Over 300 plants are scheduled to be on display!
